Art: A modern twist at Le Chateau de Versailles.

Image

I’ve always been a fan of mixing different styles together. Creating a contrast that adds an extra touch. This can be achieved in, for example, an outfit by mixing different patterns, colors, materials etc. This also can be the secret ingredient to spice up an interior. And I think the creators of this ‘contemporary art project’ at the magical Chateau de Versailles most definitely found this secret ingredient. This fabulous and phenomenal project creates the perfect mix between the typical classic and rich interior of Le Chateau de Versailles with the colorful contemporary art pieces. It gives the Chateau a different and interesting look without affecting its breathtaking and magical aura. Bravo! I personally get very inspired by these types of projects. To me they are a reminder that it’s all about thinking outside the box!

And mister Jeff Koons: I applaud you.

Summer essentials.

Image

Usually at summertimes my beauty essentials are very minimal. Even though I haven’t included it in this photo, an absolute must for me is sunscreen. All day.Every day. Not only because I may have a teeny tiny bit of an addiction to sunscreens, but also because sunscreens are real life-/skin saving products. To share my love for sunscreens with y’all, I will make  a separate blogpost about them.
Also for the skin: the Elisabeth Arden – Eight Hour Skin Protectant Cream. I’ve been an admirer (let’s exaggerate a bit, why not) of this all purpose balm which protects and hydrates the skin. For the lips I use the EOS-lipbalm in Sweet Mint and for the nails this perfect summer shade called ‘Don’t know…beets me’ by OPI. To add a touch of color and freshness to the face I use a pinkish blush. One of my favorite at the moment is the one by Bourjous in ‘Lilas D’Or’. My summer perfume is by Viktor & Rolf and is called Flowerbomb. A bomb of flowers for the summer.Perfection. And then I finish it all off with classic big black sunglasses à la Audrey Hepburn.

Happy summer!

A healthy post.

I have always given it as my decided opinion that taking care of our health should be our number one priority. I think steppin’ up your nutrition ‘game’ will be the perfect beginning. Since Ive been a health freak for the couple of years, I would like to share my tips and tricks with y’all in some of the upcoming ‘healthy blogposts’. So stay tuned.

P.S. This absolutely does not mean that there won’t be some nice recipes blog-posts that will help you cheat once in a while ; ).
